I'm so tired of everything about renting that I think I might scream and i am firmly of a generation in which there is essentially no way that we will ever own homes without losing someone we love and honestly, I think it's starting to get to me.

today I looked up something on IMDB using the computer at work, which is not connected to my personal email account. Somehow IMDB automatically signed up my personal email for an account at that exact time!

Once you learn that not a single major US news outlet used the phrase "Hamas-ran health ministry" until after 10.17.23 you really start to see how pernicious this stuff is. Nobody really disputed that the GHM was accurate, even Israel admitted so, but that didn't matter. Anyway now it is spreading

@tsch.uy's "Bikes on Amtrak" map is by far the best way to look at Amtrak routes, whether you care about bikes or not. It's so good. Absolutely filled a need for me while planning bike-based transit trekking and a huge help to visualize the mainline routes and connections. 😍 bikesonamtrak.com

iphone camera bad but this sunset looked otherworldly, or maybe like something from the end of the world. A nor’easter is bearing down on us, so maybe it actually is

I know EWR is probably “(n)EW(a)R(k)”, but in my head, the E is for Elizabeth NJ, where the airport is actually located (and the W+R are magically irrelevant and not important)

The distracted driving discourse is already popping off but I’d just like to throw in: I’ve been an insurance adjuster for almost 13 years. When I started, we almost never saw high speed rear end impacts. Now they’re like the most common type of claim. It’s distractions, this is obvious.

no clue of this context but yes actually, this is true! ebikes allow people to expend similar amounts of energy to go significantly further. ebikes are a modifier on one's ability to travel by bike, allowing for significant or even full car replacement in many cases.
Transportation Research Interdisciplinary Perspectives
Volume 1, June 2019, 100017

Physical activity of electric bicycle users compared to conventional bicycle users and non-cyclists: Insights based on health and transport data from an online survey in seven European citiesPhysical activity levels, measured in Metabolic Equivalent Task minutes per week (MET min/wk), were similar among e-bikers and cyclists (4463 vs. 4085). E-bikers reported significantly longer trip distances for both e-bike (9.4 km) and bicycle trips (8.4 km) compared to cyclists for bicycle trips (4.8 km), as well as longer daily travel distances for e-bike than cyclists for bicycle (8.0 vs. 5.3 km per person, per day, respectively). Travel-related activities of e-bikers who switched from cycling decreased by around 200 MET min/wk., while those switching from private motorized vehicle and public transport gained around 550 and 800 MET min/wk. respectively.
Therefore, this data suggests that e-bike use leads to substantial increases in physical activity in e-bikers switching from private motorized vehicle and public transport, while net losses in physical activity in e-bikers switching from cycling were much less due to increases in overall travel distance.

In 1957, a T ride cost 20¢. Adjusted for inflation, that's $2.40, exactly what the T costs today (well, $2.41, but close). The Turnpike from 128 to New York cost $2.45. Adjusted for inflation, it would be equivalent to $29.64. Driving the length of the Pike costs $4.25 today.

Just a heads up. I was able to schedule my COVID vaccine appointment. Online it may ask “do you have a condition that puts you at high risk for severe outcomes from COVID-19 virus.” Click yes and it will allow you to schedule an appointment. No questions asked. No proof required. Pass it on.

If ZM ultimately arrived at “the only realistic option is prop this up for another decade as an emergency temp solution” that’d be understandable *IF* it included “but we leveraged this to force NYS+Feds to a deal for freight-only BQE, funding cross-harbor tunnel, & other alts”
